Jury verdicts.

A jury verdict will not be set aside as contrary to the weight of the evidence unless the verdict could not have been reached by any fair interpretation of the evidence.  It is for the jury to make determinations as to witness credibility, and reviewing courts give great deference to the jury, which actually saw and heard the witnesses.  The jury may believe or disbelieve a witness's testimony, or believe some parts of the testimony and disbelieve others.
